- Clear hooks in the first 2–3 seconds.
- Product-in-action, quick tips, customer testimonials.
- redeploy longer content into bite-sized clips.
3. Hyper-customization (segment & serve)
Move from one-size-fits-all to segment-specific messages. Examples:
- Dynamic product guidence in emails and on-site.
- sutuational ads based on recent browsing or purchase behavior.
4. Influencer partnerships (micro & nano influencers)
